If you don't care about optical zoom while shooting video go for the 100.

I actually bought the Elph 300 last month for about $160 (even if it has a slightly smaller screen and more expensive)... I chose that one over the 100 because of the 24mm wide angle lens as well as the optical zoom during video shooting

I bought an 8gb TRANSCEND SDHC card CLASS 10 for $10 on amazon. U get 2500 pictures in highest quality or 30 min HD videos. Class 10 will help u record the video faster. U actually dont need that fast for such a camera (important for DSLR) but at this price...

I am always worried that a memory card might not be real (when bought online). Someone once told me that there are ways to test it. Anyone familiar with this?

By running software on the memory device. I hear this is a good one, although i never used it.

Any of the big names should be fine, Transcend, Kingston, SanDisk etc. The higher the class the faster, though speed probably won't matter much with the ELPH100, at least not for photos.

It will for the 1080p video.

I suspected that, shell out the few extra bucks for a class 10 card and you'll be good to go.

Holds bet. 40 and 60 min depending on camera settings.

60 mins sounds high if youre taking 1080p video...and it may be choppy at class 4
